Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) today reported another outstanding month with March 2015 vehicle sales of 9,764 units, an 8.5 percent sales increase from March 2014. Sales in the first quarter of 2015 for the auto manufacturer are up 19.9 percent from the same period last year; this is the fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit sales increases for the brand.

The U.S.-built Outlander Sport 5-­‐passenger compact crossover led the way with sales of 3,226 units. The affordably-priced, fuel-efficient Mirage 5-door subcompact delivered its best-ever month of sales since its relaunch with 2,488 units in March. The Outlander 7-passenger crossover once again posted strong sales with 1,615 units – its best March since 2007.

'March sales put an exclamation point on first quarter results for Mitsubishi Motors,' said Don Swearingen, Executive Vice President MMNA. 'Demand remains strong for our core models, and Mirage sales show that desire for affordable, economical and reliable transportation are still major purchasing motivators. And we expect Outlander to continue its healthy sales, strengthened by the upcoming debut of a new 2016 Outlander with over 100 improvements.'
